Spring Training

[RTK]

Does anyone know of any memorabilia shops in the Phoenix area? The one thing I enjoy about spring training are the silent auctions & "old timer's" autograph tables set up at a couple of the parks.

Anyone else go to spring training?

Don and Charlie's is the place to go to see memorabilia. It's a pricey steakhouse with an amazing collection of sports items. You might even see some players around after their games. 7501 E Camelback Rd, Scottsdale.

Not a lot of card shops around Phoenix. The Batter's Box on 2855 W. Camelback (just west of I-17) is probably your best bet.

Thanks. We've been to Don & Charlie's, saw Tommy Lasorda on his way out the door last year. It is a pretty cool place with a ton of stuff. I may have to check out the card shop.

Enjoy your trip. I hope you get some very warm weather. We go about every other year. Went last spring, Cubs game (last year at HoHoKam), Giants game in Scottsdale (great venue) and tried the new Salt River Fields for a Diamondbacks Cubs game. Also went to an Arizona State Game. A great week of warm temperatures, baseball and time with family. The only problem was getting used to freezing temperatures when we returned. We have been going since 1975 and have had great times and made great memories.

I also made the trip last year to see the park before it closed. Nice trip, hope to go to see new park next year. John

Yah, I'm ready to get out of the cold we're having in the Chicago area. I'm looking forward to the new Facilities the Cubs built too.
